Lark Cove #5
Timeless
Aubrey Kendrick has dedicated her life to continuing the family legacy. Her time isn’t just money, it’s millions. A workaholic? Yes. According to her ex, she’s married to her job. Is her personal life dull? Maybe. Is her penthouse rather lonely? There’s no time to answer that question.
Too many men have asked her to sacrifice her success to pacify their fragile egos. She’d rather be single than stifled.
Until Landon McClellan strolls into her office and upends her life. He’s as infuriating as he is handsome. He believes spontaneity keeps life interesting and is only happy if he’s rattled her nerves.
Landon is every distraction she cannot afford. But maybe he’s everything she needs.

This book was meh? I mean it was just there so I don’t really know what to say about it.
It wasn’t amazing nor bad It was okay and I feel like a bit short and dull but not boring? I really don’t know

It’s been a while since I’ve been in the ‘Lark Cove’ series, and I was excited to finally get to Aubrey’s story. It took me a minute to get back into this world but once I did it all came back to me. I love Aubrey. She’s such a boss. And Landon is a great partner for her in all ways!

Timeless is the last book in this series. It is actually a novella. A short story between Landon and Aubrey. I am so glad, Miss Perry giving her readers to get final closure for this series.
I love Landon. He is the ultimate safe harbor for independent woman. I love him. A man like him is rare commodity in real world. I think it was him who won my heart with this story.
Miss Perry as usuall a talented story teller.

this was such a cute novella to end the lark cove series but i’m really hoping that the beginning and ending are hinting that we’re getting a next gen with charlie 👀
landon is such a simp, that’s honestly all you need to know.

Estuvo bonito pero hasta ahí, no tiene tanta profundidad y tal vez es porque está escrito para un formato corto.
Aubrey y Landon me gustaron, hicieron bonita pareja.
Y lo que más me gustó de ellos es que no intentaron cambiarse el uno del otro se aceptaron tal cual eran pero sobre todo que él no tenía masculinidad frágil.
No sé si este el final de la serie o continúe con Charlie o que diera pie para una serie spin off, aunque no me emociona tanto un libro de ella porque no me cae tan bien.

4.5 'Be real' Stars!
Oh, it feels great to be back in Lark Cove and with this amazing crew of beloved characters! What better way to start 2023, am I right? This series made me fall in love with Devney Perry's writing and I was all over the idea of knowing how Audrey and Landon fell in love.
These two! I loved their back and forth, their beautiful connection, their passionate chemistry and all those feels. I also loved getting more scenes with the rest of the characters. I missed them! And can we please talk about that ending in the bonus epilogue? Miss Perry I hope you write Charlie's story in the near future, 'cause I need it REALLY BAD!!

Timeless is a novella part of the Lark Cove series (it’s 4.5 in the series). We got a glimpse of the setup of Aubrey and Landon in the last book in the series, Tinsel, so it was fun to see their story and be back with these characters!
I especially loved that the prologue and epilogue are told through Charlie, which is Aubrey’s niece and the daughter of the couple of the very first book in the series. It was so fun to see her all grown up now and possibly getting a story one day too! 👀 I’m here for it if it ever happens! Lol Anyways, so Charlie (Logan & Thea’s daughter, from Tattered), her siblings and parents, and her aunt Aubrey with her husband and their children from New York are all at Lark Cove to spend time together when the story starts! Charlie has recently gone through a bad breakup and her aunt Aubrey tells her about the time her and Landon got together.
“It will happen when it’s supposed to happen. There’s no clock. Love is timeless.”
So chapter 1 jumps us to 9 years earlier with Aubrey and Landon’s romance starting. The story kicks off with a breakup, Aubrey is 35 and the CEO of her family’s multibillion-dollar corporation, Kendrick Enterprises. Her siblings have both found love: Logan (in Tattered) and Sofia (in Tinsel), but Aubrey is just focused on her work. Enter Landon to her life, a police officer who Aubrey first met when he was working on a case for her sister Sofia (we see this in Tinsel). He spent time and became friends with Sofia in her book but he has his sights set on Aubrey. I liked seeing Landon be the pursuer of Aubrey, he definitely has to work to get her attention and get her mind off work. This was super short and sweet, so fun to be back with these characters!

Well, shite. This book felt nostalgic.
To tell you that I'm addicted to this series was an understatement, I love this series so much. The whole 4 books probably safely tucked in the corner of my favorites shelf. When I binged read this series all the characters even appeared in my dreams, it was freaking crazy.
Ending the series with this book? It kind of soothes my tender heart.
But if I may be frank, it's not a good story. It was so mediocre and you might find the plot of this book in any other books out there. There was nothing special, the conflict was pretty much half-hearted and basically unnecessary. But since it's a novella, I can turn my eyes blind for a moment for all the things I've mentioned above. And it's Devney Perry, one of my favorite go-to romance novel last year (hope she'll stay as my favorite in this year), also the sex was hot.
Strangely, the character development was great. Landon is fucking charming- makes me want to put him in my pocket then bring him to my home so I can put him on my cabinet of book boyfriends 🤓. Aubrey was a boss bitch with strong head and mind also brilliant, she's fucking gorgeous. All I'm saying the characters were very much alive and consistent throughout the book.
The book wasn't that great but at least it cured my tender heart, hence 3 stars.

Timeless is a novella that concludes the Lark Cove series. I read the first installment three years ago and then picked up this book without reading the others in the series. I think that is possibly the cause of my lack of connection with this story.

This was so cute! I wish it was longer, I would have loved more details into Aubrey and Landon’s story.

this was a unique story because it starts off with Charlie just finding out her boyfriend cheated on her - her failed relationship paralleled Aubrey’s life…and Aubrey told her the story of how hee and Landon met and fell in love.
I’m so happy we got to see Aubrey’s HEA!! Aubrey being a strong female CEO has been burned by past relationships and Landon is the perfect person to deal with her crazy busy life and simply be the strong foundation and someone she can trust.
I really loved Landon he was so obsessed with her Aubrey…one morning she woke up super early and went to her office to work and he went in there to just be near here. He slept on the couch while she worked …he never tried to change who she was…he was just always there to be with with her. 🥹
he’s also perfect cause while she controlled the boardroom he controlled the bedroom …see what i did there?😏
THEN WE GET TO THE BONUS EPILOGUE WITH CHARLIE AND OMGGGGGGG!!! What a wild surprise didn’t see that coming - im genuinely shooketh but in a good way…in a way that’s like…give me Charlie’s story now please and thank you!

I loved how realistic this was for Aubrey's character. I can see how her high power position would intimidate a lot of men and that they would not be able to handle dating her. I love that it was a cop that finally could. This was a great addition to the series but it has me wanting Charlie's story so bad! After reading her heartbreak and the reason for Aubrey to share her story, I can not wait to see what happens for Charlie.

4.75 stars.
This was the perfect ending for the series. From the prologue until the epilogue’s last pages. Plus I loved that these two were narrated from Charlie’s point of view. hope she’ll get her own book.
Anyway I was looking to read this one for quite a bit, ’cause I loved Aubrey’s character since the first book of the series and, I’m a sucker for a girl boss heroine who’s a workaholic and has no time for dating or a relationship and then bam !! she meets the hero who’s so understanding and cute and that’s Logan for you mesdames et messieurs, he was just the perfect match for her.
Loved these two so much ❤️

Wow!!! I truly wasn’t expecting to fall in love with this book considering I’ve never really delved into this series; side note: you can read this book without having read the others. I LOVED seeing a Bosss female character; we don’t really get to see that very often in romance books. While I was happy to see a character like Aubrey, I was MELTING over Landon 🥰🥰🥰!! ALPHA LOVERS you will love Landon; his persistence is so HOTTTT!! Overall, this was a great read and a wonderful way to end the year if you choose to end it with these two craziesss 😂!
Happy New Year Goodreaders!!

Oh 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘐 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥. The series that started my small town obsession, 𝐋𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬. I really hope something happens, and I'm keeping my 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥. I won't say it because the book is not going to be released until the end of the month. I'll say it when it releases, but I have already let Devney know. 😅
Timeless is a novella, but it doesn't feel like it's rushed at all. Aubrey is a workaholic, but her life slowly changed when Landon walked into her office. 𝘚𝘸𝘰𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘥. 😏 The way how Landon tries to win Aubrey, 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐟 𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬!!! I freaking love him. I'm so glad Aubrey got her own story. She's a strong heroine, and Landon was the 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐅𝐄𝐂𝐓 man for her.
That's all I'm going to say. Don't want to spoil anything. Lol

So, I was a little confused when this book opened with Charlie. I was like, wait, I thought this was Aubrey's story. But I enjoyed that this was Aubrey telling her niece, who looks so much like her, the story of her heartbreak and happy ever after. This was cute, a little lacking in some areas, but overall, sweet. But the true reason for the 4 star? The potential of a book for Charlie!
December 31, 2022
Well-written novella and addition to the Lark Cove Series. Aubrey and Landon are both appealing characters that sizzle on the pages. Good to catch up with other characters from this series, too.

“Have you smiled today?” “What?” “Have you smiled today?” The line went quiet. That meant no. “Then the purpose of this phone call is to make you smile.”
I was ho hyped up for Aubrey & Landon's story ever since I read Sophia's book and I can definitely say that they were perfect for each other. He bought balance to her life and gave her the much needed stability. I loved Landon's pinning and how he was determined to make Aubrey feel happy and relaxed. Their were poles apart and came from different worlds but somehow still fit together. I just wish it was a longer book. I know this was just a novella but I would have loved to see more of them because the prologue and epilogue both were about their niece Charlie while parts of their story were just mentioned in them. Overall, I just didn't like the telling and not showing part but I still loved the couple!

Dear Ms. Perry, Devney, if I may, I literally love you, but this was not it. The pacing was super slow, despite being a novella, so when the characters got together and said "I love you" it felt really sudden. And the theme regarding work being just as important as free/family time did not hit. Plus I miss the usual small-town setting you give us. Most of your books slay, so I forgive you for this, but dang :(

I loved revisiting the Lark Cove series again. These damn characters have my heart. 💙
I also loved getting insight to an older Charlie. But now I want more of her story! 🙃

A maneira perfeita de terminar a saga...com uma história de amor intemporal (timeless) 💜
A espera pela história da Aubrey valeu a pena, pois apesar de curta (como assim só temos isto deste casal! quero mais 🥹) a verdade é que tem os elementos perfeitos, é apaixonante.
O desenvolvimento da ação neste livro foi muito interessante pois ao começar no futuro podemos ver um pouco da próxima geração de Lark Cove e isso é impagável! Amei ver a Charlie adulta e a ligação com todos os habitantes desta vila incrível, com a sua família 💜
A história de amor da Aubrey e do Landon é espetacular, o modo como ele luta por ela sem a temer ou querer mudar é incomparável 🥹 ele não se assusta com o sucesso dela e dá-lhe força para ser ainda melhor - compreender isso não é fácil para alguém como a Aubrey mas quando aceita a realidade dos sentimentos que os une tudo se torna mais leve e feliz na sua vida. Um dos meus casais preferidos da saga!!!
Uma história linda, um final perfeito para uma saga inesquecível...

This novella is awesome, amazing, and adorable. I loved being back in Lark Cove and seeing Aubrey and Landon's story. Aubrey is a strong woman and needed a man who would support her no matter what, and that was Landon. I loved that they worked together and communicated, which only strengthened their relationship. This was a really nice journey back to Lark Cove!

four stars! ʚïɞ
i just knew from the previous book that landon and aubrey were gonna be soo good, and i’m happy that i was indeed correct with that assumption :)
i devoured this in one sitting, absolutely loved it! i really wish they had gotten their own full length novel, but i’m still pretty happy with what we got. it felt perfectly paced and fleshed out, and we got to know and love the characters and their relationship! honestly think this might be my second favorite story from this series lol or at least tied for second, bc i really did love the first book!
aubrey was such a strong character, and i loved that landon appreciated that from the start and didn’t try to diminish her at all. i wish we got to see more of him being in charge though, if you know what i mean 😋
overall such a quick, cute read! i loved the charlie pov as well in the beginning and end, and i feel like maybe that’s hinting for a spinoff with her since she’s older??? i’d looooove to read that! <3
